Omaxe seeks Rs 600 crore in IPO

Real-estate developer Omaxe Ltd plans to raise as much as Rs 600 crore ($148 million) selling shares for the first time to finance land acquisition and repay loans.

The company will sell 17.8 million new shares of Rs 10 face value at Rs 265 to Rs 310 apiece, starting July 17. The price will be decided based on demand from investors after the sale ends on July 20, the New Delhi-based company said in a statement on Thursday.

Omaxe founder Guild Builder Pvt may offer an additional 1.75 million shares on demand, taking the total offer to 19.5 million shares, the company said. The company has reserved 296,520 shares for employees.

Omaxe hired DSP Merrill Lynch Ltd, Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt, UBS Securities India Pvt, JM Financial Consultants Pvt and ICICI Securities Ltd to arrange the sale.
If all 19.5 million shares are sold, they will account for 11.2 per cent of the company's fully diluted, post-issue capital, Omaxe said.
